"The Razor-Sword of Justice"
1972
Directed by Misumi Kenji

The pulsing '70s soundtrack, soft-core S&M, politically incorrect and misogynist themes and copious buckets of blood make this the most over-the-top Samurai series ever made. Itami "The Razor" Hanzo is the baddest cop in Edo during the late 1800s. His wits are as sharp as his sword and his martial arts skills rival the size of his (ahem) "jurisdiction." He ferrets out corruption high and low and delivers what passes for justice in Edo during the Shogunate period of Japan. A wonderfully guilty pleasure. Japanese with English subtitles.
90 minutes.
